Brands & Training Ask prospective companies which specific manufacturers or equipment brands they carry. Unlike other home improvement contractors, HVAC companies often only carry a small selection of brands

Ask About Guarantees Never work with a contractor who doesn't fully back the work performed.  Ideally, you should opt to hire a heating contractor that commits to 100% customer service and product guarantees as well as warranties. If a contractor isn't willing to stand by the quality of their work, why should you risk hiring them?

Don't Wait Until the Last Minute While you can't foresee an unexpected breakdown, you can take steps to keep your furnace running at the top of its game. Many homeowners put off repairing or tuning up their furnaces until a malfunction occurs.
